How much does shipping cost?

[Sam]

Hi Pegasus members!

Has anyone ever imported a horse from France before? How much extra should I budget on top of the cost of the horse for shipping, quarantine, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sam –

While this won’t 100% answer your question, it’s at least a start. We typically budget about 10,000 USD for importing geldings from Ireland/Europe. Mares and stallions are more as they require longer quarantine and additional repro testing before they are allowed out their quarantine. Also, thanks to COVID, this price has recently increased as I understand the Brussels port has closed temporarily.
